Welcome Call to worship Hymn 62 - Sing a new song to the Lord PSALM 98 1 Sing a new song to the Lord, he to whom wonders belong ; rejoice in his triumph and tell of his power, O sing to the Lord a new song ! 2 Now to the ends of the earth see his salvation is shown ; and still he remembers his mercy and truth, unchanging in love to his own. 3 Sing a new song and rejoice, publish his praises abroad ; let voices in chorus, with trumpet and horn, resound for the joy of the Lord ! 4 Join with the hills and the sea thunders of praise to prolong ; in judgement and justice he comes to the earth, O sing to the Lord a new song ! based on Psalm 98 Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Prayer Family Talk Hymn 522 - The Church is wherever God's people are praising 1 The Church is wherever Gods people are praising, knowing theyre wanted and loved by their Lord. The Church is wherever Christs followers are trying to live and to share out the good news of God. 2 The Church is wherever Gods people are loving, where all are forgiven and start once again, where all are accepted, whatever their background, whatever their past and whatever their pain. 3 The Church is wherever Gods people are seeking to reach out and touch folk wherever they are conveying the Gospel, its joy and its comfort, to challenge, refresh, and excite and inspire. 4 The Church is wherever Gods people are praising, knowing were wanted and loved by our Lord. The Church is where we as Christs followers are trying to live and to share out the good news of God. Carol Rose Ikeler (b. 1920)

O Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world ; O Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world ; have mercy on us, have mercy, have mercy on us. Last time only: Grant us, grant us, grant us your peace. Sermon Hymn 112 - God whose almighty word chaos and darkness heard 1 God, whose almighty word chaos and darkness heard, and took their flight ; hear us, we humbly pray, and, where the gospel-day sheds not its glorious ray, let there be light. 2 Saviour, who came to bring, on your redeeming wing, healing and sight, health to the sick in mind, sight to the inly blind, now to all humankind let there be light. 3 Spirit of truth and love, life-giving, holy dove, speed forth your flight ; move oer the waters face, bearing the lamp of grace, and in earths darkest place let there be light. 4 Blessd and holy Three, glorious Trinity, Wisdom, Love, Might, boundless as oceans tide rolling in fullest pride, through the world far and wide let there be light.
John Marriott (17801825)(alt.) and Thomas Raffles (17881863)(alt.)

Dedication of offering Prayers for ourselves and others Hymn 459 - Crown him with many crowns 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne ; Hark ! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed oer the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save. His glories now we sing who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love ; behold his hands and side, rich wounds yet visible above, in beauty glorified. All hail, Redeemer, hail ! for thou hast died for me : thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Matthew Bridges (18001894) and Godfrey Thring (18231903) Benediction CCL Licence No 6258
